Chapter 111 Doubt

"That's right." Fatty Qu squatted on the sunflower seeds and said, "I heard that this is His Majesty's 150th birthday. If you want to hold a big event, the first-class forces in the capital have invited them. You also know the Nalan family, and naturally they will. It’s not just them, but the alchemists’ union, the animal trainer’s union, and the spirit master’s union will also send people to participate. Like us, we can only go if we are in the light of the third prince.”

Sima Youyue tapped the stone table with her fingers: "It seems that all forces will go that day!"

"Yes." Fatty Qu nodded, "To be honest, that day was a good opportunity to gain knowledge. It would be nice if you could go and have a look."

"Well, maybe we will go there at that time." Sima Youyue said.

"If you go, I can also have a talking company." Fatty Qu said, "My brother insisted that I go to learn more, but I really have no interest in that anger. I don't like to curry favor with the third prince. I won't be bored if you go."

"talk later."

"Well, then I'll go back first. Again, if there is anything I need Fatty, just say it." Fatty Qu stood up and said.

"I will." Sima Youyue said with a smile.

After sending Fatty Qu away, she returned to her yard. Only a few of them knew that she was an alchemist, so everyone looked at her the same way. Only her close relatives know that she is no longer the one she used to be.

In the capital, everyone was paying attention to the affairs of the Sima family and the Nalan family. One is the powerful Nalan family, and the other is the powerful general's mansion. Neither of them is willing to help. If they are in the wrong position, then they may be in a disaster of betting on the wrong side.

Everyone knew that the Nalan family had hired an alchemist for a long time, and they also knew that the Sima family had always had a bad relationship with the alchemist. They thought that the Sima family would lose this time.

The news that the Sima family's store was sold out of pills quickly spread like wildfire, and many families could only shake their heads and sigh. This pill is indeed fatal to every family!

But not long after, the Sima family's store launched a pill for sale again, and the price was one-third less than before, even cheaper than the Nalan family's.

For mercenaries who are not rich, this price is undoubtedly a huge attraction. So soon, many mercenaries went to Sima's shop instead.

Naturally, the Nalan family quickly got the news that the Sima family's pills were sold out, they sent people to do it, in order to make their shop less attractive. But they didn't expect that they actually launched the medicinal pill again, and the price was lower than their own, which made them feel very incredible.

In the Nalan family council hall, Nalan and a sullen face sat on the main seat, the two elders sat on the side, and the others sat below.

"Patriarch, is it true that the Sima family still has medicinal herbs?" said the second elder.

"Yes." Nalan He nodded, "I just got the news that they are indeed still selling medicine pills."

"But didn't we buy all their last pills, those shops have long promised not to continue to supply the Sima family, where did they get the pills?" the second elder asked in confusion.

"Could it be that someone disregarded the agreement with us and sold them the medicinal pills privately?" said the first elder.

"It shouldn't be." Nalan He said, "Even if those people disregarded the agreement and sold them to Sima Lie and the others, they wouldn't be able to buy so much at once, and they could keep the price so low."

"The owner of the house means..."

Nalan He was silent for a while and said, "If my guess is right, they should have found an alchemist."

"How is that possible!" The second elder shook his head affirmatively. "The people we sent said that every alchemist who had contact with the Sima family was unsuccessful. How could they suddenly have an alchemist willing to join their family."

"Patriarch, First Elder, Second Elder." A mustache boss who sat down said, "According to the news from below, the Sima family suddenly has thousands of medicinal pills, and any alchemist must not be able to take it all at once. Come out with so many medicinal herbs."

"Thousands?" This number surprised the always calm Great Elder, "Are you sure?"

"Small certainty, there are indeed thousands." Bazi Hu said, "And now the price of our medicinal pills is already set at the cost price, they are actually lower than us."

"Hmph, he Sima Lie wants to attract those customers like this, regardless of the cost, they won't last long!" said the second elder.

"I think so too." The elder said, "killing chickens to get eggs is not a long-term solution after all."

"Then do we need to reduce the price of our medicinal pills?" Hu asked.

"No." Nalan He said, "They shouldn't last long. When their pills are sold out, we'll see if they can continue. Except for the offerings and medicinal materials for Master He, we are no longer making money, and we will lower the price. It will affect the supply later."

"Yes, master."

Nalan He touched the empty sleeve of his left hand, his face gloomy and terrifying. Although there is no direct evidence, his intuition tells him that the matter of the Pusuo Mountains is inseparable from the Nalan family.

"Patriarch, for His Majesty's birthday next month, the gift is ready, and I just arrived at the Treasure Pavilion today."

Compared with the affairs of the Sima family, His Majesty Dongchen's birthday is also one of the things they have paid attention to recently.

"Arrived? Let's take a look. You go back and continue to pay attention to the situation over there." Nalan He said to the shop owner below.

"Yes."

"Two elders, let's go and see the birthday gift..."

The fact that the Sima family store was selling low-priced medicinal pills quickly spread among the mercenaries, and many mercenaries rushed to buy them, and because the price was cheap, they were willing to buy two more pills than usual. Within a few days, those medicinal pills were gone. Sold out.

Just as everyone was waiting for the Sima family to cut off the supply of medicinal pills, they suddenly released another batch, and the price remained the same.

This move made everyone in the capital lose their eyes. What does this mean? It means that the Sima family really invited an alchemist! And judging from the medicinal pills they sold, that person was at least a second-grade alchemist!

The news shocked Nalan He for a while, but it didn't hit him. He immediately sent people to check the suppliers of the medicinal materials in the Sima family, in an attempt to cut off their supply of medicinal materials, but the news was that the Sima family did not have any. Buy any herb from anyone!

"Did their medicinal pills fall from the sky?" The second elder was puzzled. "Or, are there any major forces behind them?"

Nalan He shook his head, "Apart from the Alchemist's Union, which force has the ability to help the Sima Family so generously now? But we all know the relationship between Sima Lie and the Alchemist's Union. Absolutely impossible."

"How to explain the affairs of the Sima family?"

Nalan He sneered: "The state banquet is coming, and then there will naturally be a way to make that old guy Sima Lie tell the truth!"
